EARLY THURSDAY
NEAR TERM
(TODAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY)
ISSUED AT 1203 AM CDT TUE MAY 27 2025
A LINE OF STORMS IS MAKING ITS WAY SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE CWA. STORM
INTENSITY SHOULD GRADUALLY DIMINISH AS INSTABILITY WANES. STORMS IN
WEST TEXAS WILL MOVE INTO SOUTHWEST PORTIONS OF OUR FORECAST, BUT
ARE NOT EXPECTED TO LAST LONG BEFORE DISSIPATING.
UPPER LOW APPEARS TO BE MOVING OUT MUCH SLOWER WHICH IS BAD NEWS FOR
HAVING A BRIEF RESPITE FROM RAIN. LATEST CAMS CONTINUE TO SUGGEST
LOW CHANCES FOR ELEVATED SHOWERS DURING THE DAY AND A POSSIBLE MCS
OVERNIGHT / TOMORROW MORNING. LOW CONFIDENCE FORECAST FOR A
CONTINUED MESSY PATTERN THROUGH WEDNESDAY.
DAY
SHORT TERM
(WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 1203 AM CDT TUE MAY 27 2025
ANOTHER STRONG WAVE AND ASSOCIATED FRONT MOVE IN WEDNESDAY NIGHT,
BRINGING HIGH CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND STORMS LATE WEDNESDAY INTO
EARLY THURSDAY (STARTING NORTHWEST AND SPREADING SOUTHEAST).
SEVERE RISK LOOKS TO BE ON THE LOWER END AT THE MOMENT, WITH MOST
OF THE INSTABILITY CONFINED FURTHER WEST--THAT SAID, WILL CONTINUE
TO WATCH TO SEE HOW DETAILS EVOLVE OVER THE NEXT DAY OR TWO.
DAY
LONG TERM
(FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY)
ISSUED AT 1203 AM CDT TUE MAY 27 2025
LONG TERM WILL DEPEND ON HOW FAST THE SYNOPTIC WAVE SHIFTS EASTWARD.
CURRENT FORECAST HAS US MOSTLY DRY FOR THE WEEKEND, BUT WOULD NOT BE
SURPRISED IF LOW POPS GET INTRODUCED SOON AS GLOBAL MODELS STILL
KEEP THE UPPER TROUGH CLOSE ENOUGH FOR US TO BE AFFECTED BY ANY
SHORTWAVES MOVING THROUGH THE FLOW.
